Chapter 75
The day was bright. Annette lifted her eyelids, which felt heavier than usual. The sunlight creeping through her window was a brilliant golden light. It must have been close to noon. On time the day I had sex with Rafel.
Annette stood up. No, she was trying to get up. But it wasn't just the eyelids that were heavy. Her sturdy arms her in her lapels her, her legs her hugged her and squeezed tightly. It looked like his beard he had grown a little over night. Annette's eyes looked up at Lafel's face her and suddenly became dark.
'Why is this man doing this?'
In their relationship, it was Lapel who always pushed them away. She was cowardly to say that she couldn't bear to be pushed away from such a subject. Perhaps it was not out of affection that he held her tenaciously last night. That, it's just that it seems that others are interested in their possessions, so it's more like being wary. If I was swayed by this kind of behavior every time, my heart would be worn out. Osland as soon as possible before Raffel grows attached to her. To do so, he had to get rid of his false accusations and find the real culprit.
Annette pushed away Lapel's arms and legs and stood up. Rafel frowned, but he didn't wake up. In fact, what if he wakes up? Crooked, Annette left the bed where his body heat remained.
The moment he put his foot on the floor, his eyes her became strangely dizzy. His exhaled breath his was hot, and the inside of his throat his was rough, as if he had the aura of a cold. The cold wind blowing. Of course, there must have been some hard work on the body in the intense relationship that followed.
Annette fumbled around the furniture and made her way to the table. Fortunately, there was a gown hanging over the chair of her. Wrapped up in a rather thick gown, Annette headed downstairs. The abilities of his newly recruited primary care physician.
And, again, her attending physician was as competent as she remembered.
“It's a cold body.”
It was as Annette expected.Especially the tonsils seemed swollen.Her uvula her ached as if there was even a tiny glass marble stuck inside her throat her.After measuring Annette's fever, Eucalyptus 'expression darkened slightly. .
“I will give you fever reducers. Warm up your body today, and get a good night's sleep early. Drink as much water as possible.”
“Thank you, Eucalyptus.”
“No, madam. If you don't mind, I'll make you an occasional stamina potion. It won't help much, but if you eat it regularly, you'll be much stronger.”
“If you do, I will be grateful. Please take good care of me.”
When Eucalyptus leaves to get her medicine, Annette is left alone on the couch in her drawing room her. She closed her eyes and leaned back. Eucalyptus told her to go to bed early, but now Lapel was lying in her bedroom. Of her, though her body would be warm, her heart would be cooler than now.
She did n't like being in Rafel's bedroom without her owner her her.Where should she go to rest?Annette pondered and inadvertently brushed her own hair, startedled by the heat she felt on her forehead her.It definitely seemed to have a fever.
Smart-
At this time, the maid came up to her with a puzzled expression and whispered something to Annette.Hearing her words of her, Annette asked back with her bewildered eyes.
“A guest? But she did n't get any news in advance….”
In order to visit other nobles' mansions, it was common to send a 'visit request' in advance. Briefly, it was about a few months, a few days, and a few hours, that I would visit for some business. The landlord saw this and sent a reply that allowed it, it would be a visit, otherwise it could not be done. This was the basic etiquette of a socialite in Deltium.
Of course, if they were very close, there was no need for this procedure. But as far as Annette knew, few people were close enough to disregard this procedure. Who the hell would make a rude visit like this? Slightly dazed forehead from the heat.
“So, who is the guest?”
“That's it, ma'am……. It is certain that he is a noble, but he did not reveal his family name. He said he wants to talk alone with the madam, but if I show you this, maybe. .. He said he would definitely agree.”
Annette's eyes widened when she saw the item the maid held out. It was an ordinary pair of gloves that could be sold anywhere. The only strange thing was that there were rouge marks on the back of the glove, as if someone had bitten it.
Annette remembered where she had put them on.
'Celestine Keers?'
Annette's eyes twitched. It meant a lot to her to come this far. She could have presented this glove as evidence, accusing Annette of trespassing on the temple. However, she waited several days and did not hear that Celestine had accused her.
Instead, she secretly visited Annette and held out this to ask for a conversation.Annette's eyes her shone as she suddenly understood something.
'I guess he's willing to listen to me.'
The last time she met her, Celestine was extremely wary and afraid of herself.She was suffering from the trauma of being the victim of her abduction of her.She was the face that made her believe that the real culprit was Annette.
Annette, of course, explained that he wasn't herself, but he didn't think that would work. What criminal in the world would she admit his sins? Unless Celestine was an idiot, she continued to doubt herself. Annette uncovers evidence against the other culprits.
Annette felt sorry that she was not feeling very well today.But she couldn't send Celestine back,who had come all the way to her house her.She must have come with a very big decision.She said Celestine would never try this again She had no choice.
Having made up her mind, Annette opened her eyes and looked at her maid.She was watching her own eyes with her restless face, fearing that she might get scolded.Annette, who smiled at the maid, instructed her calmly.
“Can you help me get dressed? I need to meet a guest.”
Today, it felt like the corset was digging into her ribs. Maybe that's why her breathing was tight, so her voice kept her mixing with her rapid breathing. Annette took a sip of the warm tea and cleared his throat. To the person in front of her.
“I didn't expect you to come like this. Nice to meet you again, Lady Celestine.”
Celestine was speechless. She looked nervous, as if the momentum that had come all the way was a lie. Annette watched her hands her tremble with tension as they rested on the hem of her full dress her. Her own fears of her.
Annette cared the teacup in silence and waited until Celestine was ready All she could do was this At least she felt that her cold aches she had eased a little as she drank the hot tea She opened her mouth.
She said, “I had a strange dream recently. It was a dream in which you appeared.”
“Ah…Did you?”
Of course, Celestine didn't mean a real dream. It must be a roundabout expression of the invasion of the temple that day. Annette, knowing this well, smiled vaguely. Annette was alarmed, as she still did not know what Celestine was looking for.
'I should be careful with my words. Otherwise, I'll end up confessing my sins with my own mouth.'
Annette, who was stabbed a lot, broke into a cold sweat inside her. Celestine's visit to her was good news for her, but she still couldn't fully trust her. Annette recently broke into the temple of Odessa Lei, and he recalled his behavior of impersonating a priest. Looking back now, he was amazed at how he did such a bold thing. So Annette took a hint and opened his mouth her.
“Can I assume that you came to see me today because you believe in my innocence?”
“Your… White hands?”
Celestine raised her dubious eyes and looked at Annette. She seemed like someone who was very repulsed by the word “Innocent.” Although she had come this far, it seemed that she still did not fully trust Annette. Seeing this, Annette sighed and explained in a calm tone.
“Celestine. I really didn't instigate your kidnapping. My coachman, Ian…… I was hired with a completely fake identity. And after kidnapping you at the crucial moment, they framed me. A well-crafted script. Someone must have played this trick to harm me and you.”
Celestine said nothing. So Annette decided to be more candid with his friends her. He had to convince opponents who hadn't fully opened up yet.
